The Summer Kitchen

Blue Sky Hill Series, Book 2

De: Lisa Wingate

Narrado por: Staci Snell, Karissa Vacker

From the author of A Month of Summer, an inspiring new novel in the Blue Sky Hill series about one woman's effect on a struggling Dallas neighborhood.

With her adopted son missing and the rest of her family increasingly estranged, Sandra Kaye Darden is drawn to the little pink house where her Uncle Poppy once provided security. What begins for Sandra as a simple painting project, meant to prepare the house for sale, becomes a secret venture that eventually changes everything.

Cass Blue is having trouble keeping food on the table since she ditched foster care. When Sandra Kaye shows up with lunch one day, Cass has no way of knowing that the meeting will lead to the creation of a place of refuge that could reunite a divided community.

In this moving story of second chances, two unlikely allies realize their ability to make a difference...and the power of what becomes known as the Summer Kitchen to nourish the soul.

Loved it!!

I just finished The Summer Kitchen and am so sad! I loved the book, and wished it hadn't ended. I commute by train to work everyday, and loved sitting back closing my eyes and taking it all in.
I bought the book by mistake. I thought i was clicking on it to read about it. I'm so glad I did! It's one of those books you keep thinking about all day.

Lisa Wingate does it again!

I have read five or six of her books and all of them are excellent. She has a talent of pulling you into the stories and making you love her characters. I hate to see her books end

Awesome Book!!!

Great narrative, story line and readers! Highly recommended if looking for a good story that reveals struggles that are real!

Happy Endings are so nice.

I really love listening to Lisa’s books. They inspire me to help people and gives me happiness.

Nice read

It was a good book once it got into a few chapters. A bit of a slow start but a good story!

Characters you care about and a great story

The story drew me in and I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next. I spent the better part of a Saturday doing nothing but listening to this book. Sunday morning I carried my phone with me as I got ready for church, and later that afternoon, I finished it. It’s one of those stories that you don’t want to end, yet you can’t wait to find out what happens next. I recommended it my daughter the minute I finished it.

Excellent as always

I have loved everything I have ever read from Lisa Wingate and this one didn’t disappoint either. I loved it from beginning to end.

Inspiring

A great book for the summer. I enjoyed the focus around the growing identity of oneself and one’s children. An empty nester book.

If you like Christian novels you’ll like this

I wish Audible would specify the genres as Christian. It was your typical Lisa Wingate series novel, inspiring, enjoyable and good endings. The racial stereotyping was a bit much for 2020 but maybe was acceptable when the book was written. Lisa W is great describing scenes and feelings. I do enjoy that

Wonderful read

I thoroughly enjoyed this book even though it left me in tears! But happy tears. What a story line that kept me up for hours as I had such a a hard time finding a stopping place. No matter what your life is like it made you appreciate all the small things and realize things could be a whole lot different it for the grace of God. Wonderful story.
